Agreed. I happen to disagree with @PoliticalPundit's analysis, but he's been much more civil than @Patine has been lately. You've got to calm down, man. The personal attacks left and right have got to stop. Look at how @vcczar responded - pointed out a perceived flaw in reasoning and politely explained why he finds that to be an important part of the argument. It's very civil, even though you can tell that @vcczar and @PoliticalPundit are disagreeing. V clearly states he disagrees with the assessment, in fact. Likewise, just the other day I was a clown and thought something was unconstitu4 points

Today Vienna elects a new state parliament (100 seats) and all 23 districts of Vienna elect new district councils. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Viennese_state_election The first results will be in, in about an hour.2 points

I finished my poll of polls model finally, and I have a congressional districts extrapolation model, I will start with Vermont, we have >10%, >7.5% > 5.0% > 2.5% > 0.0%, with colors representing them. I expect to put every state today. At first I am assuming that all CD have the same population, after, I will adapt with the real populations, but only when I finish every cd EDIT... I will need to restart, I discovered a big problem in the projections. Seems that the race will be much more close than I thinked. EDIT 2 , LETS GO! Alabama 59.9% GOP, 35.6% DEM CD1 61.4%2 points

I will need some extra hours to finish the map, it's possible that it would be finished only by tomorrow.1 point

That depends. In covid related affairs I'd welcome more action. I'd say the SPÖ might fit you best, although the Greens are more progressive. Even if I were left of the centre I couldn't vote for the Greens. Some examples: One of their biggest concerns in the covid summer was to build an expansive large outdoor pool... how out of touch can a party be? Additionally they destroyed a huge shopping street in Vienna by banning cars from it. The reality is, there is no traffic management anymore, but cars are still driving through. It got more dangerous but didn't improve quality of life. T1 point

You have reached the incorrect premise that I was defending gerrymandering. I was not.1 point

Maybe at a local level. God, I hope not. Yeah, Phil Scott would be in there. Almost any Republican than can be popular statewide in an extremely Blue state would probably pass my test.1 point

I'm hoping HC takes enough of the vote from FPO that it really hurts them, but that they still fail to cross the 5% threshold.1 point

Yay! It's always fun to watch the results of elections that have no immediate impact of my life, because I don't have to stress about the results!1 point

Considering the alternative is a Trump-era Republican, I’ve voted for every Democrat. The only Republicans I’d ever consider would be Charlie Baker, Larry Hogan, and Jon Huntsman. That’s only if the Democrat was a Trump version of a Democrat or an old school Southern Dem that never left their party and never changed their ideals. If it were a Trump version Democrat vs a social conservative, I’ll vote 3rd party. There’s never an instance I’ll vote for anyone that is right of center socially.1 point

Interesting, thanks. If I had known that, I had put Love Jr. into the poll as an option as well.1 point

@Conservative Elector 2 while not the party nominee officially, the Nebraska Democratic Party is supporting and encouraging voters to write in Preston Love Jr for senate. The party does not endorse or support Chris Janicek1 point

Oops, my bad. Taking a cursory glance at their websites, I'd say Warnock is my favorite of the three, though I probably prefer any of them over any of the Republicans.1 point

In what way? Impersonating individual voters at the polls is a terribly inefficient way to affect elections. Any kid who wants to drink can get a fake ID with ease, somebody with the resources to throw an election would have no trouble doing so. Poll workers aren't trained to spot fake ID's. I miss the days when conservatives were against the government tracking everything you do.1 point

Patine does the same to me on this forum. Honestly, the best course of action is to laugh and move on. He is who he is, and he isn't going to change. If it helps, he does not have a wide band of respect on this forum, for behavior exactly like this.1 point

I can't stand Trump, but even the idea of this is hilarious. Like Willy Wonka coming out with the cane and then dropping into a somersault.1 point

Yeah, Killdozer was probably the most "peaceful" (lol, oxymoronic) terrorist attack that I personally know of. Sad that some people end up so alienated by society that they think that is the only recourse they have to fix a situation.1 point

Well, he killed himself. But otherwise yes no other lives were lost and he was trying to prove a point but the general nature of the event and the destruction would fall into the category.1 point

If my memory is correct, no lives were lost in the killdozer incident. I think that the guy was a Catholic, and just wanted to prove a point without harming anyone innocent. A shame what some people end up doing just to make a point...1 point

@admin_270 this isn't just a personal attack it's an unwarranted attack on autism. As someone that's been dating someone on the spectrum for years, and someone with many friends on the spectrum, I find this very offensive.1 point

What did I do exactly besides IGNORE YOUR POST which you then continually HARASSED me about you autistic loser? I didn't throw a "fucking punch" you moron I ignored your harassment. I hope you don't do this w women in your life or you're either a virgin or have a restraining order placed against you. You are the most aggressive dysfunctional poster I've witnessed online and that's saying something. The fact that this entire board (besides you) can at least have logical reasonable discussions says everything. And the fact you are continually called out on it and have a past histor1 point

Done. Voter suppression is a VERY big problem in the U.S. Alongside other factors, like the antiquated Electoral College, the BIPARTISAN, not non-partisan, FEC, and it's funding rules, ballot access flaming hoops to jump through in many States for non-Duopoly parties, Primary focus, even in public electoral systems, on Duopoly Primaries virtually exclusively, "sore loser," laws, incentives for media to exclusively focus on Duopoly coverage, marginalizing other party coverage, and the Federal courts that judge any regularities in electoral matters made up completely of justices selecting for pa1 point

This is true. We've had a number of immigration cases where South African Afrikaners arrived in Canada and applied for political asylum, and were basically told, circumspectly and in paraphrasing, that because they were White, and were coming from South Africa, there's no way their claim is genuine. Frankly, atrocity, injustice, and other of the worst aspects of humanity can, theoretically be committed by, and against, any inborn demographic - despite certain modern taboos and stereotypes. We are all the same species - humanity - and made of the stuff and with the same base nature.1 point

do you read your own posts man? Just because you write 100 adjectives in your paragraphs doesn't make you coherent. Calling me a "whack job" really shows your character. Take care.1 point
